Say you are looking at the following structure and want to determine all of the ports that belong to a YY type module:
Network Element 1
Module 1, Type XX
Module 1.1, Type YY
- Port 1
- Port 2
Module 2, Type YY
- Port 1
- Port 2
If you specify Module.Type=’YY’ in your query criteria, the ports associated with module 1.1 will not be returned since its parent module is type XX. Instead, enter Module.Type=’YY’ or skip Module!=’YY’. This tells XSQL to disregard any parent module data that does not meet the type YY criteria and collect results for any matching child modules. In this example, you are instructing the query to skip module 1 and collect the relevant data from module 1.1.
